Set up instructions
Prerequisites:
You are a Sana Enterprise user – all third-party connectors except the Workday connector are available only for users on the Sana Enterprise tier.
Your Sana workspace owner has enabled this connector – if the workspace owner has disabled the connector it won't appear in the list of available connectors.
Step 1: Go to the connectors page in Sana
In Sana, click on your profile icon and name in the bottom left corner and select Connectors.
Step 2: Find Confluence Data Center in the list of available connectors
Scroll to the Available connectors section and locate Confluence Data Center.
Note: If you can't find a connector in this list, it means one of the following:
You've already connected it — check the ”Active connectors” section at the top of the connectors page, or
Your workspace owner has disabled this connector for your workspace — reach out to them for more information or to request that it be enabled.
Step 3: Hover the connector card and click the connect button
Hover the Confluence Data Center card and click the Connect button.
Tip: If you click the card itself instead of the Connect button, you'll open a connector detail page with more information about its capabilities.
Step 4: Initialize the Pipedream connection
When clicking Connect in the previous step, a pop-up will appear powered by Pipedream. Click the Continue button in the pop-up to initialize the set up.
Note: Sana uses Pipedream to connect your account. Pipedream is a Workday product, trusted by millions of people to keep their data secure.
Step 5: Provide your Confluence Data Center credentials
You'll be asked to paste the credentials for Confluence Data Center so Sana can store them securely and use them to call the connector's APIs on your behalf.
Step 6: Complete the set up
You've successfully connected your Confluence Data Center account. Click Continue to complete the setup and start using the connector.
Known limitations
Content types: This connector primarily reads and writes Pages and Blog posts. Other content types (Databases, Whiteboards) are not supported.
Network access: Sana connects to your Confluence Data Center API URL from Sana's cloud connector platform — being reachable over the public internet is not enough if a firewall filters traffic. Corporate firewalls must allow traffic from the connector platform (contact support for the IP ranges to allowlist), otherwise requests time out.
